Capability for users to create batch difference plots #186

Closed christinaholtNOAA closed 1 year ago

christinaholtNOAA commented 1 year ago

Users now have the option to create a "diff" plot using create_graphics.py. It will accept two directories with two options for file name templates, and will create all the difference maps for variables specified in the image list. All other behaviors are similar to regular map plotting (forecast hours, regions, etc.).

There are a few things it won't do out of the box:

Here is an example plot: image

I'll add some additional comments to the code after the PR is opened.

@Brian-Jamison I am not totally convinced all variables will work given the difference in naming convention between the two models -- HRRR and RRFS. It might be true that for some select variables that do share the same variable names, these might work, but I don't want to claim that it certainly would.
